What would you pick for a greenfield today?

question 3 connections

Audience asks what Schirp picks for greenfield work. With no economic constraints, always Haskell. But Haskell is a very hard sell — with a random VC or recruiter he'd spend 80% of his time arguing for Haskell and 20% working. So in practice it's always Rust: easy sell, and in his experience '80% Haskell'.

answer_summary
Haskell in theory; Rust in practice because it's an easy sell and delivers ~80% of Haskell's benefits.
